Hi there, I'm Balto! I'm the big golden boy. I have a brother, Cooper, and a sister, Mist. Cooper and I are the best friends ever, and our people say we're almost inseparable but me and Mist, not so much. She always tries to lick me, which I don't like and when I try to avoid that big long tongue she just tries harder. I do secretly love her, though. I love peanut butter and tennis balls! I may be turning ten this summer, but I'm still a puppy at heart. One of the only things I love more than tennis balls is water. When I was a puppy I used to try to swim in my big water bowl and I still paw at the water in the park--it's not nearly big enough to swim in. The thing I love most of all, even more than peanut butter and tennis balls, is my family.

This Week's Featured Puppies

You're very handsome and a very sweet looking guy, Balto:-) You sound happy being best buds with Cooper. As for Mist, she loves you so much she can't stop kissing you - maybe some day you'll come around, maybe! Lol. Llive long and well, sweetheart. OXOXOX and cookies for you, Cooper and Mist :)

oh be still my heart, I love a dog profile, look at you Balto, so handsome and sweet. I love your profile, you sound like such a wonderful boy, I know your Mom and Dad look at you in awe, rightfully so, such a wonderful friend you are!

Glorious Golden Balto ... you take my breath away by your beauty: inside and out. You and your family are blessed having and loving each other as you do for 10 beautiful years. May there be many more years of love and togetherness for all of you. Dearest love, Balto. xoxo

Balto, you are such a handsome boy. And typical of retrievers, you love the water and a good tennis ball. If your brother and sister are as good looking and happy as you, your family is very lucky indeed. Enjoy!!!

Balto, you are just a darling, with your big soft brown eyes. You look like my golden girl, Babette. Goldens are the sweetest dearest dogs. Yes, water waaaaaater WATER, we had to get a pool for Babette, and she spent all the summer days in it and we literally had to drag her out when it turned dark outside. And tennis balls, we got ours from the local tennis club when the season was over, they gave them away, because they switched to new ones for the next season. And we went through quite a few each year, ourselves. Lucky Balto with a great family and a vat of peanut butter. You are set.

Balto, you are one handsome, adorable, charming furboy! Goldens are sunlight, wrapped in fur - and love is the Golden's light - (at least that is what my human says about me and my Golden fur sibs, and I kinda believe her). Wishing you many more years of happiness and joy together!

Balto, you are such a lovely boy! I just want to touch that sweet, soft spot where your chin meets your neck, and stroke those lovely soft ears of yours. You remind me of my darling Emma, (1987-1998). Having had Goldens all of my life, with the exception of the past few years, your darling face is the reason why I desperately want another. You look fit and healthy, as well as very happy. Long may you run, Balto! Hugs from Oliver & Henry, and their Mum, in London, Ontario.

Hi, Balto,
I nevr would have believed that you are 10, but I read your bio, and Mom said that you're 10! You look amazing, Handsome Boy.
You were named after a very strong and loyal Husky in Alaska. I often read Balto's story of devotion and courage to my students.
xoxoxo , and lots of love to you, Handsome Golden (my favorite breed!), and may God always bless you.
